Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating an indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The indication method shown in this embodiment may be applied to a first base station, where the first base station may communicate with another base station, for example, a second base station, and may also communicate with a terminal as user equipment.

The first base station and the second base station include, but are not limited to, base stations in a communication system such as a 4G base station, a 5G base station, and a 6G base station. The terminal comprises but is not limited to communication devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, wearable devices, sensors and internet of things devices.

In an embodiment, the terminal may be a terminal to which the indication method described in any subsequent embodiment is applied. The second base station may be a second base station to which the paging control method described in any of the subsequent embodiments is applied.

As shown in fig. 1, the indication method may include the steps of:

in step S101, transmitting first indication information to a second base station;

the first indication information is used for indicating that a terminal paged by the second base station receives the paging of the second base station and does not respond to the paging.

In one embodiment, the second base station may page the terminal, for example, send a paging signaling to the terminal in a broadcast, unicast, multicast, or the like manner, and the terminal may respond to the paging after receiving the paging of the second base station, for example, initiate random access to the second base station, or may not respond to the paging.

Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating another indication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, the first base station communicates with a first SIM card in the terminal, and the second base station pages a second SIM card in the terminal;

the sending the first indication information to the second base station includes:

in step S201, in response to determining that the second SIM card receives the paging of the second base station according to the second indication information sent by the first SIM card, and does not respond to the paging, sending the first indication information to the second base station.

In one embodiment, the terminal may be a multi-card terminal, and a plurality of SIM cards including at least a first SIM card and a second SIM card may be provided in the terminal.

It should be noted that the first SIM card and the second SIM card do not refer to some SIM cards, but refer to any two different SIM cards in the terminal. The SIM card in all embodiments of the present disclosure includes, but is not limited to, a USIM card, an eSIM card, and the like.

In one embodiment, the terminal may communicate with the first base station through a first SIM card and with the second base station through a second SIM card.

In the process that the terminal communicates with the first base station through the first SIM card, if the second base station pages the second SIM card, since responding to the paging through the second SIM card may affect the communication between the first SIM card and the first base station, the terminal may determine whether to respond to the paging through the second SIM card as needed, for example, may determine according to the service information of the communication between the first SIM card and the first base station and the service information corresponding to the paging received by the second SIM card, and the specific determination manner is described in the following embodiments.

In case the terminal determines not to respond to the page through the second SIM card, second indication information may be transmitted to the first base station through the first SIM card communicating with the first base station to inform the first base station that the terminal received the page of the second base station but did not respond to the page.

In this case, since the second SIM card does not respond to the paging of the second base station, it cannot be directed through the second SIM card. According to this embodiment, when the second SIM card cannot directly communicate with the second base station, the first base station may send the first indication information to the second base station, so that the second base station knows that the second SIM card paged by the second base station has received the page of the second base station, but does not respond to the page, thereby ensuring that the second base station does not misunderstand that the response to the second SIM card is not received because of a problem occurring in the paging process, and avoiding resource waste caused by further performing unnecessary operations.

Fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating yet another indication method in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 3, the method further comprises:

in step S301, determining a reason why the terminal does not respond to the paging according to the second indication information;

wherein the first indication information is further used for indicating a reason why the terminal does not respond to the paging.

In one embodiment, the terminal may also carry a reason why the terminal does not respond to the paging of the second base station in the second indication information. The reason may be a direct reason, for example, the terminal is using the first SIM card to communicate with the first base station, or an indirect reason, for example, service information of the first SIM card communicating with the first base station, which may be, for example, a type of service, a priority of the service, a data amount of data to be sent by the service, and the like.

After receiving the second indication information, the first base station can determine the reason why the terminal does not respond to the paging of the second base station, and further can carry the reason in the first indication information sent to the second base station, so that the second base station can know the reason why the terminal does not respond to the paging of the second base station.

Fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating yet another indication method in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 4, the reason at least includes that the first SIM card communicates with the first base station, and the method further includes:

in step S401, request information sent by the second base station is received, where the request information is used to request the first base station to suspend communication with the first SIM.

In one embodiment, in the case that the second base station determines that the reason for the terminal not responding to the paging of the second base station includes that the terminal communicates with the first base station through the first SIM card, if it is determined according to its own needs that the second SIM card is still to be paged, the second base station may send request information to the first base station to request the first base station to suspend communication with the first SIM card.

Therefore, under the condition that the second base station still needs to page the second SIM card, the communication process of the first SIM card can be suspended by requesting the first base station, and the terminal can respond to the paging of the second base station by using the second SIM card.

It should be noted that, in all embodiments of the present disclosure, the SIM card communicates with the base station, specifically, the terminal where the SIM card is located communicates with the base station, the terminal may communicate with the base station through the SIM card and a processor, a radio frequency transceiver element, and the like in the terminal, the element directly communicating with the base station may be the radio frequency transceiver element, information that the radio frequency transceiver element needs to send may be from the SIM card, and information received by the radio frequency transceiver element may be transmitted to the SIM card first.

For example, the first SIM card indicated in the above embodiments communicates with the first base station, which means that the terminal where the first SIM card is located communicates with the base station based on the identity of the first SIM card; similarly, the second SIM card communicating with the second base station means that the terminal where the second SIM card is located communicates with the base station based on the identity of the second SIM card, for example, the second SIM card receives a page of the second base station, specifically, the terminal where the second SIM card is located receives a page of the second base station.

In an embodiment, the first indication information may further carry service information of communication between the first SIM card and the first base station, and the second base station may determine the service information to be performed when paging the second SIM card, compare the two service information, and when it is determined that the service to be performed when paging the second SIM card is relatively urgent, may send the request information to the first base station.

Or the second base station may carry information for paging a service to be performed by the second SIM card in the request information, and the first base station determines which of the service for communicating with the first SIM card and the service for paging the second SIM card by the second base station is more urgent, and may select to instruct the terminal to suspend the communication between the first SIM card and the first base station under the condition that it is determined that the service for paging the second SIM card by the second base station is more urgent.

In one embodiment, the method further comprises:

sending third indication information to the first SIM card;

the third indication information is used for indicating the first SIM card to suspend communication with the first base station.

In one embodiment, when the first base station determines that the communication with the first SIM card needs to be suspended, third indication information may be sent to the first SIM card, and the first SIM card may be instructed to suspend the communication with the first base station by the third indication information.

The first SIM card determines the basis of suspending the communication with the first SIM card, including but not limited to the first SIM card receiving the request message of the second base station, and the first SIM card determines that the service to be performed by the second base station for paging the second SIM card is more urgent.

After receiving the third indication information, the terminal may control the first SIM card to suspend communication with the first base station, for example, may remain in a connected state and temporarily stop uplink and downlink communication with the first base station, or may enter an unconnected state (e.g., an idle state, an inactive state). During the time that the first SIM card suspends communication with the first base station, the terminal may respond to the paging of the second base station through the second SIM card, for example, initiate random access to the second base station through the second SIM card.

It should be noted that, in all embodiments of the present disclosure, the indication function of the indication information on the SIM card is specifically applied to the terminal where the SIM card is located.

For example, in the above embodiment, the third indication information is used to indicate that the first SIM card suspends communication with the first base station, and specifically, the radio frequency transceiver component receives the third indication information sent by the base station, and then sends the third indication information to the first SIM card, the first SIM card further sends the third indication information to the processor of the terminal, the processor of the terminal parses and determines the meaning of the third indication information, and then controls the first SIM card to suspend communication with the first base station based on the meaning of the third indication information, so that the terminal suspends sending information to the first base station or receiving information from the first base station based on the identity of the first SIM card.

In one embodiment, the method further comprises:

and receiving the related information of the paging sent by the second base station.

In one embodiment, the method further comprises:

in response to determining that the first SIM card suspends communication according to the related information, sending third indication information to the first SIM card;

wherein the third indication information is used for indicating the first SIM card to suspend communication with the first base station.

In one embodiment, the second base station may send information related to the page sent to the second SIM card to the first base station, for example, information related to a service to be performed by paging the second SIM card to the first base station, so that the first base station determines which of the service communicated with the first SIM card and the service to be performed by the second base station to page the second SIM card is more urgent. If it is determined that the service to be performed by the second base station for paging the second SIM card is more urgent, it is determined that the first SIM card is required to suspend communication, and third indication information may be sent to the first SIM card to indicate the terminal to control the first SIM card to suspend communication with the first base station.

It should be noted that, after receiving the third indication information, the terminal may suspend the communication between the first SIM card and the first base station, further may select to respond to the paging of the second base station through the second SIM card, and may also select to perform another action instead of responding to the paging of the second base station through the second SIM card.

If the first base station explicitly indicates that the terminal is required to suspend the communication between the first SIM card and the first base station and also to respond to the paging of the second base station through the second SIM card through the third indication information, the terminal is required to further respond to the paging of the second base station through the second SIM card when the communication between the first SIM card and the first base station is suspended.

Fig. 5 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating yet another indication method in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 5, the method further comprises:

in step S501, determining a duration for which the terminal does not respond to the paging according to the second indication information;

wherein the first indication information is further used for indicating the duration of the terminal not responding to the paging.

In one embodiment, the second indication information may further carry a time length for which the terminal does not respond to the paging of the second base station, so that the first base station may send the time length to the second base station by carrying the time length in the first indication information, so that the second base station determines that the terminal does not need to be paged any more at least within the time length.

It should be noted that, in addition to carrying the time length in the second indication information, the time length may also be determined by the first base station, for example, according to a situation that the first base station communicates with the first SIM card, and specifically, a time required for the first base station to complete communication with the first SIM card may be determined as the time length.

Fig. 6 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating yet another indication method in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 6, the method further comprises:

in step S601, the first indication information is sent to a core network corresponding to the second base station.

In one embodiment, the operation of the second base station paging the terminal is generally triggered by the core network, for example, the core network needs to page the second SIM card in the terminal, and then all base stations in the tracking area of the second SIM card can be determined, and then an indication for paging the second SIM card is sent to these base stations, and the second base station will start paging the second SIM card after receiving the core network.

According to this embodiment, the first base station may send the first indication information not only to the second base station, but also to a core network corresponding to the second base station, that is, a core network that triggers the second base station to page the terminal, and send the first indication information, so that the core network determines that the terminal has received the page of the second base station, but does not respond to the page.

Therefore, misoperation, such as updating a tracking area, which is executed when the core network mistakenly considers that the paging process has a problem due to the fact that the terminal does not respond to the paging, can be avoided, and resource waste is avoided.

Fig. 7 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating a paging control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The paging control method shown in this embodiment may be applied to a second base station, where the second base station may communicate with other base stations, for example, a first base station, and may also communicate with a terminal as user equipment.

As shown in fig. 7, the paging control method may include the steps of:

in step S701, receiving first indication information sent by a first base station;

in step S702, in response to determining that the terminal has received the page of the second base station according to the first indication information and the terminal does not respond to the page, the paging of the terminal is suspended.

Fig. 8 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating another paging control method in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 8, the method further comprises:

in step S801, a reason why the terminal does not respond to the paging is determined according to the first indication information.

In an embodiment, the first base station may determine a reason why the terminal does not respond to the paging of the second base station, and send the reason carried in the first indication information to the second base station, so that the second base station knows the reason why the terminal does not respond to the paging of the second base station.

For example, the terminal may send second indication information to the first base station, where the second indication information may carry a reason why the terminal does not respond to the paging of the second base station. The reason may be a direct reason, for example, the terminal is using the first SIM card to communicate with the first base station, or an indirect reason, for example, service information of the first SIM card communicating with the first base station, where the service information may be, for example, a type of service, a priority of the service, a data amount of data to be sent by the service, and the like.

Fig. 9 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating yet another paging control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 9, the method further comprises:

in step S901, in response to the reason at least including that the first SIM card communicates with the first base station, sending request information to the first base station;

the request information is used for requesting the first base station to indicate the first SIM card to suspend communication.

In an embodiment, the first indication information may further carry service information of communication between the first SIM card and the first base station, and the second base station may determine the service information to be performed when paging the second SIM card, compare the two service information, and send the request information to the first base station when it is determined that the service to be performed when paging the second SIM card is relatively urgent.

Or the second base station may carry information for paging a service to be performed by the second SIM card in the request information, the first base station determines which of the service for communicating with the first SIM card and the service for paging the second SIM card by the second base station is more urgent, and may select to instruct the terminal to suspend the communication between the first SIM card and the first base station when it is determined that the service for paging the second SIM card by the second base station is more urgent.

In one embodiment, the method further comprises:

and responding to the fact that the first SIM card stops communicating with the first base station according to the response information of the first base station, and continuing to page the terminal.

In one embodiment, when the first base station determines that the communication with the first SIM card needs to be suspended, third indication information may be sent to the first SIM card, and the first SIM card may be instructed to suspend the communication with the first base station by the third indication information. In turn, a response message may be sent to the second base station to inform the second base station to instruct the terminal to stop the communication of the first SIM card with the first base station, so that the second SIM card may continue to page the terminal, for example, continue to page the second SIM card in the terminal.

Fig. 10 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating yet another paging control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 10, the suspending paging for the terminal includes:

in step S1001, determining a duration for which the terminal does not respond to the paging according to the first indication information;

in step S1002, the paging of the terminal is suspended for the duration.

In an embodiment, the first base station may determine a duration for which the terminal does not respond to the paging of the second base station, and send the duration carried in the first indication information to the second base station, so that the second base station knows the duration for which the terminal does not respond to the paging of the second base station.

For example, the duration that the terminal does not respond to the paging of the second base station may be carried in the second indication information sent by the terminal to the first base station, so that the first base station may send the duration to the second base station with the first indication information.

After the time length is determined, the second base station can suspend paging the terminal at least in the time length, so that resource waste caused by the fact that the second base station continues paging the terminal in the time length is avoided.

Fig. 11 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating yet another paging control method in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 11, the method further comprises:

in step S1101, sending fourth indication information to a core network that triggers the second base station to page the terminal;

the fourth indication information is used for indicating that the terminal paged by the second base station receives the paging of the second base station and does not respond to the paging.

According to this embodiment, the second base station may send fourth indication information to the core network to inform the core network that the terminal paged by the second base station receives the page of the second base station but does not respond to the page, when determining that the terminal receives the page of the second base station and does not respond to the page.

Therefore, misoperation which is caused by that the core network mistakenly considers that the paging process has a problem due to the fact that the terminal does not respond to the paging, such as updating of a tracking area, can be avoided, and resource waste can be avoided.

in step S1201, in the process of communicating the first SIM card with the first base station, the second SIM card receives a page of a second base station;

in step S1202, in response to determining not to respond to the paging, sending second indication information to the first base station through the first SIM card;

In an embodiment, in a process that a terminal communicates with a first base station through a first SIM card, if a second base station pages a second SIM card, since responding to paging through the second SIM card may affect communication between the first SIM card and the first base station, the terminal may determine whether to respond to paging through the second SIM card as needed, for example, may determine according to service information of communication between the first SIM card and the first base station and service information corresponding to paging received by the second SIM card, where a specific determination manner is described in the following embodiments.

In case that the terminal determines that the paging is not responded to by the second SIM card, second indication information may be transmitted to the first base station through the first SIM card which is communicating with the first base station to inform the first base station that the terminal received the paging of the second base station but does not respond to the paging.

In this case, since the second SIM card does not respond to the paging of the second base station, it cannot be directly passed through the second SIM card. According to this embodiment, when the second SIM card cannot directly communicate with the second base station, the first base station may send the first indication information to the second base station, so that the second base station knows that the second SIM card paged by the second base station has received the page of the second base station, but does not respond to the page, thereby ensuring that the second base station does not misunderstand that the response to the second SIM card is not received because of a problem occurring in the paging process, and avoiding resource waste caused by further performing unnecessary operations.

In one embodiment, the second indication information is further for indicating at least one of:

information of the second SIM card;

information of the second base station;

a reason for not responding to the page;

not responding to the duration of the page.

The information of the second SIM card may be, for example, an identifier of the second SIM card, and a service corresponding to the paging received by the second SIM card; the information of the second base station may be, for example, an identification of the second base station.

According to the information of the second SIM card and the information of the second base station, the first base station can determine that first indication information needs to be sent to the second base station, and informs the second base station through the first indication information, if the second SIM card receives paging second non-response paging, the second base station can suspend paging of the second SIM card, and does not suspend paging of other SIM cards.

Of course, if the second indication information does not include the information of the second SIM card or the information of the second base station, the first base station may also determine that the first indication information needs to be sent to the second base station in other manners, for example, determine according to the historical communication record of the terminal.

In one embodiment, determining not to respond to the page is based on at least one of:

service information of the first SIM card and the first base station in communication;

and paging corresponding service information.

In one embodiment, the basis for the terminal to determine not to respond to the paging of the second base station may be configured by the core network, for example, configured to the terminal through non-access stratum signaling, or configured by the base station, for example, configured to the terminal through radio control access stratum signaling, or determined by the terminal according to its own implementation.

It should be noted that the above two cases include, but are not limited to, the above two cases, and the specific service information may also be in various forms, such as the priority of the service, the identity of the service, the quality of service of the service, and the like.

For example, the service information includes the priority of the service, the terminal may compare the priorities of the two services, and when the priority of the service of the first SIM card communicating with the first base station is higher, it may be determined not to respond to the paging;

for example, the service information includes an identifier of a service, and the terminal may determine, according to the identifier of the service, only whether the service in which the first SIM card communicates with the first base station is a specific service, and in the case of the specific service, may determine not to respond to the paging.

Fig. 13 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating another indication method in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 13, the method further comprises:

in step S1301, receiving, by the first SIM card, third indication information sent by the first base station;

in step S1302, suspending the communication between the first SIM card and the first base station according to the third indication information;

in step S1303, the second SIM card responds to the paging.

The first base station may determine whether to suspend communication with the first SIM card according to its own needs, and if it is determined that the communication with the first SIM card needs to be suspended, may send third indication information to the first SIM card, and instruct the first SIM card to suspend communication with the first base station through the third indication information. In this case, the terminal may suspend the first SIM card from communicating with the first base station and then respond to the page through the second SIM card.

Fig. 14 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating yet another indication method in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 14, the responding to the page by the second SIM card includes:

in step S1401, in response to the second SIM card receiving the page after suspending the communication of the first SIM card with the first base station, the page is responded to by the second SIM card.

In one embodiment, after suspending the communication between the first SIM card and the first base station, if a page of the second base station is received through the second SIM card, the terminal may respond to the page through the second SIM card. And if the paging of the second base station is not received, the paging received before can be selected not to be responded.

It should be noted that the steps executed by the first base station and the second base station in the above embodiments are applicable to both base stations, for example, in the process of communicating the second base station with the second SIM card, the first base station pages the first SIM card, and the terminal determines not to respond to the paging of the first base station, then the first base station may execute the steps of the second base station, and the second base station may execute the steps of the first base station, and accordingly, the first SIM card and the second SIM card may be exchanged.
